The 24-year-old, who has struggled with a string of niggling injuries in the past 12 months, has recaptured his best form in the Campeonato Brasileiro this season.

Ganso has been linked with a number of European clubs, including AC Milan and Tottenham, while Turkish giants Galatasaray have also shown an interest.

The player, who wore the Selecao's coveted number 10 shirt at the 2011 Copa America, has calmed speculation by telling Brazilian sports daily Esporte Interativo: "I still have a lot to achieve at Sao Paulo, so there is very little chance I will be leaving now."

Meanwhile, club president Juvenal Juvencio believes the former Santos star is still improving and does not see him moving anytime soon, unless they receive an outstanding offer.

"Ganso is starting to show his talent, but I think there is room for improvement," said Juvencio.

"I can't guarantee he won't leave because I would need to analyse any serious offers."

t's wrong to be making a joke out of Bender's name at the expense of gay people. It's the kind of childish, uncivilised thing that Football365 would deride and ridicule if it was another media outlet saying. Why is there a need for jokes like this? Does it make your writers feel like men? F365 might suggest that I 'lighten up', but it is genuinely traumatic for people who have been oppressed all their lives to be the butt of jokes, and to be told...

ou can't blame De Gea for wanting to leave, he has enough to do in front of goal as it is as well as taking on the role of Man Utd's version of Derek Acorah in trying to contact and organise a defence that isn't there.
